The prking break is probably on...
If the " BRAKE " warning light in your gauge panel is on , either your parking / emergency brake is on and if not , YOUR BRAKE FLUID LEVEL IS LOW in the brake master cylinder located in your engine compartment
If it says 'Brake Light Failure' or similar, your brake light is out. change the bulb.
If you mean the warning light that shows BRAKE and has the exclamation mark underneath it that means either your parking brake is on or the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder in your engine compartment is low
check brake fluid level. and have a brake inspection . you more than likely have front brakes needing replaced.
It definately means you have bulb out...this just happened to me and my turn signal/brake light is out.
The red brake light on the dash means that the brake fluid is low or the parking brake is on.
Assuming you mean the red " BRAKE " light in your dash is lit : That means that either your BRAKE FLUID LEVEL IS LOW in the brake master cylinder or your parking / emergency brake is engaged
That can mean that the parking brake is not disengaged. It can also mean that there is a problem with the hydraulic brake system. For many years all vehicles sold in the United States have been equipped with a brake system that separates front and rear braking into two separate hydraulic lines so that if the front brakes go bad you can still have a little braking from the rear. The light usually indicates that one half of the system has failed. The light could also mean that the ABS has failed, but that is usually a separate indicator light.
If you mean the red " BRAKE " light in your dash is on , that means that the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder located in your engine compartment ( on a Ford Taurus ) is LOW ( or that the parking brake is on )
if you mean the brake light on the dash... fill your brake fluid as it's probably low If you mean the brake lights outside the car, your switch is shorted and needs replacement, or you need to lift your foot off the pedal
If the brake light in your dash is on , either the BRAKE FLUID LEVEL in the brake master cylinder in your engine compartment is LOW or your parking brake is on
Do you mean the " BRAKE " light ? - when the brake fluid level is low in the brake master cylinder in the engine compartment , the " BRAKE " light will come on just like it does when the parking brake is engaged
